I've got a situation in my bedroom where there's only one air supply register and no return vent—just the return in the hallway. I'm wondering if it would make more sense to install a second supply register or go for a return vent instead. The current supply isn't pushing out a lot of air, even when the door's open, so I'm really trying to figure out the best solution here!

Just a heads up, ducting can get pricey, so you might want to chat with a few HVAC companies before deciding. Think about other options too, like ceiling fans or space heaters, if you're worried about costs. They could help improve your comfort without breaking the bank!
It sounds like a good idea to get a professional HVAC inspection. Having multiple opinions can really help pinpoint the issue since there could be several factors affecting airflow. Adding a supply register can be tricky depending on your home's layout, so it's worth some expert advice before jumping in!
From what I've seen, putting in a return vent in the bedroom could be the better choice over adding another supply. Without a return, the air circulation is off, so even with the door open, it feels like hardly any air is coming in. I’d recommend starting with the return vent!
Totally agree! Having a return will definitely improve the airflow. It makes a big difference.
That's a smart suggestion! Sometimes the simple fixes can do wonders without the hefty price tag.
